False Sacrament- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 8/28/92 xfer f/ 1st gen soundboard tape Very Small Records

Yesterday I mentioned that I was behind in posting because of the sick family, and that was the case again today. Noon came around and I had nothing prepared. I was going to post a Multifacet or Good Grief set from Gilman, but I cannot figure out where the set change is between the 2 bands. Maybe I will post them both together.
So that brings me to this tape from Eggplant’s collection. This is my first time hearing any False Sacrament material beyond the comp tracks that David Hayes/Very Small Records put out, and this band ripped. Reminds me a bit of Victims Family. It seems like some people felt the same about the band, since their 2 old demos are in high demand.
Thanks to Robert for allowing me to borrow these tapes- so many under documented bands in here, including this one.

Ken Doose also has a video that he filmed from 1992 on the sac music archive.

Recorded by: Tall Tim (I think- Eggplant described his writing and this looks like it)

False Sacrament- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 2/22/92 xfer from master/1st gen FM KALX Broadcast

It’s Monday and I am still lagging from the weekend. It was pretty wild. A few weeks back, I really wanted to see a show in Austin, Texas so I went on priceline and did one of those old-school “blind purchase” round trip flights for cheap- $250 round trip to Texas on a weekend was a killer deal.
Well, now I know why. I got in on Friday after midnight and had to wait in line for over an hour for my rental car. I was able to get a decent amount of sleep that night (6 hours), but I learned that the show started Saturday at 10pm and ended at 2, and my flight back was at 5:30am. Long story (kinda) short, I ended up not sleeping on Saturday night and getting an hour or 2 on the plane. Missed the KK Downing show last night because I could not keep my eyes open. Slept for 10 hours last night and this groggy head is still happening at 2pm. It guess this is how I am feeling today. It was totally worth it, btw.
That had nothing to do with today’s post. I plan to mix it up a bit this week (no tour manager Doug Tuesday! Oh no!), but let’s get things going with an Eggplant post. This is one that was simulcast by KALX. i was thinking about rebalancing this in Izotope, but the mix moves around too much. It gets good a few minutes in.
